I went through all the steps

I selected the songs
Carefully (you can never be too careful with song lyrics)
I added them to a brand new playlist
Called it, Pour Toi
Thoughtfully (French has always been between you and I)
I found a memory stick and
The playlist was there, in my pocket, for a week
When we went to the beach
When I came for the birthday
When we had our last lunch
The playlist was there, in my pocket, for a week

I went through all the steps
Save for the
Last
One.
I wanted to be selfish.
I wanted to give it to you.
Instead I was selfless.
I wanted you happy more than I wanted you with me.

*I wonder when those songs will stop playing you in my mind
